USAcanary 0 Posted July 18, 2009 [quote user="Sports Desk - Pete"]Full-time: Airdire Utd 2, Norwich City 3.Five from five, 100%, etc.[/quote]Great tour...... Not just the results.We gave vital minutes to Rudd and Steer, got to look at some of the trialists.Hopefully we can get just as much out of the next 5 preseason games with a few more permanent signings included.........IMHO Things are starting to come together, we still need a bit more quality in various areas but some of the places are starting to look set.

I do agree with the sentiments though.The test will be Man U and Wigan as from what I have heard Man U plan to send down quite a strong side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Largey 0 Posted July 18, 2009 The Palace game will be the best test to see how far we''ve gone from last season.Plus we have a shocking record at Selhurst Park...in competitive games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Pete - is Maric staying with the squad too. It says on the main page under the Whaley article that Askou is going to return to Norfolk with the team, do you know if Maric is too?I only ask because he joined the squad there too and it seemed as if Gunn was showing signs of interest.

chicken 0 Posted July 19, 2009 We sorely need a target man and if Maric goes without us getting one this will be as bad as Roeder letting both Brown and Strihavka going leaving us only with Dublin to perform that role upfront.I would sign Maric even if it was for a season. No disrespect but when you look at all of the other strikers we have - I am a target man compared to them and I am 5''10". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
